(AMDUCA) amendments to the Food, Drug,

University of Nebraska Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center
FDA criteria for ELDU
1. A careful diagnosis is made by an attending veterinarian
within the context of a valid veterinarian-client-patient
relationship.
2. A determination is made that 1) there is no marketable drug
specifically labeled to treat the condition diagnosed, or 2)
treatment at the dosage recommended by the labeling was
found clinically ineffective.
3. Procedures are instituted to assure that identity of the
treated animal is carefully maintained.
4. A significantly extended period is assigned for drug
withdrawal prior to marketing the treated animal and steps
are taken to assure the assigned time frames are met so
that no violative residue occurs. The Food Animal Residue
Avoidance Databank (FARAD) can aid the veterinarian in
making these estimates.
University of Nebraska Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center
FDA criteria for VCPR
Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationships Exist When:
A. The veterinarian has assumed the responsibility for
making clinical judgments regarding the health of the
animal and the need for medical treatment, and the client
has agreed to follow the veterinarian's instructions.
B. The veterinarian has sufficient knowledge of the animal to
initiate at least a general or preliminary diagnosis of the
medical condition of the animal. This means the
veterinarian has recently seen and is personally acquainted
with the keeping and care of the animal by virtue of an
examination of the animal or the medically appropriate and
timely visits to the premises where the animal is kept.
C. The veterinarian is readily available for follow-up
